How I'm Living Pt II

After an busy search for a permanent residence and a weekend trip to a Malaysian island, I thought I would spend a bit of time trying to feel out this country before writing my next blog post.  So many questions still unanswered: Why is this country an economic hub?  How does it achieve gdp grow of near 20% and unemployment of 2.5%? What does it have to offer in terms of real value?  Why are locals so different from their neighboring country counterparts?  Are people as content as the seam?  Could the progressive strategies the government has executed on work and revive western countries like Canada or the US?  And where will this country be in 5 to 10 years?

While it's going to take time for me to figure out if this is indeed a paradise island or if it's the result or a sterile and government-mothered environment, I thought I would share a few pics of my new pad.  And now that I'm settled, come visit (and I've already had one person swing through).

Enjoy.
